Despite the beauty and convenience, round-shaped fonts have drawbacks.

• Difficulties in the arrangement of the interior. Finding a suitable place in the room for a round bath is quite difficult; the room should be very spacious. The ideal position for such a tank is the center of the room, but for this you need to lay water and sewer pipes in advance, do a divorce, and if you already have one, you will have to redo everything under a new font.

• The high cost of paying bills for water meters.Due to the capacity of the tank, it will take several hundred liters of water to completely fill the round tub.

Circle is considered a universal form of bath. Thanks to it, you can create a special atmosphere in the room, it fits different styles of interior. Modern manufacturers offer models created from different materials. Consider the most common ones.

Differs in excellent operational qualities: well holds heat, has a pleasant to the touch surface, it is undemanding in leaving, costs less than models from other materials.

The first material used for the production of fonts. But cast iron baths are very heavy, so their transportation and installation is not an easy task.

Steel baths belong to the category of budget, and this, in addition to the lightness of the material, lies their main advantage. Bathing tanks made of steel are cheap, but they retain heat poorly and do not have sound insulation.

This is a traditional material for the production of round tubs. Marble fonts look delightful, but they are expensive.In addition, natural stone requires very careful care.

Cheap analogue of this marble bath. It is made of synthetic material with the addition of stone or marble chips.

Baths of these materials are considered exotic. They require constant care, however, despite the difficulties in operation, look amazing. Glass and wooden fonts are made exclusively to order, so they are very expensive.

Although this material is not used on a production scale, some craftsmen create concrete baths with their own hands. Their cost is much less than the previous options, but to complete the font from this raw material, you need experience.

Bathtubs of round shapes differ not only with the material of production.

Manufacturers offer consumers several options for cups of the bowl:

• spherical shape;
• tapering down;
• cylindrical.

The size of any bath is determined by parameters such as height, volume, diameter and depth of the bowl.

The diameter of the outer circumference of most models varies from 130 to 180 cm, but more often models with a diameter of 140, 150 and 160 cm are bought. In a tank with a diameter of 180 cm, you can freely lie down or take water procedures for two people at a time. There are baths with a diameter of more than 180 cm, they belong to the category of mini-pools (as a rule, their diameter is 200 cm), such systems can only be installed in large areas.

Depth is the distance from the very top of the side to the bottom of the bottom. Models 40–70 cm deep are currently being sold, but other options can be made to order.

The height of the bath is different from the depth and is calculated as the distance from the floor to the upper edge of the tank. In different baths, this parameter ranges from 45 to 85 cm.

The volume of round tubs is 350-750 liters.

Round fonts can be mounted in various places: in the center of the room, against the wall, in the corner. There are models embedded in the floor. Such products are considered very fashionable, they resemble small pools.

Recessed containers of circular configuration vary in size. In the model range there are designs designed for installation in rooms of medium size. Typically, such systems are installed against the wall.

The round bathtubs of the built-in type resemble angular structures; they differ only in more rounded sides. If the bathing tank is built into the floor near the wall, the shower and the water tap should be fixed to the wall, and the plumbing system is laid inside the wall.

If you allow the footage and the layout of the toilet, then a round bath can be put on the floor or on the podium. In any of all these options, the design will become a real decoration of the interior.

An excellent duet for a round bath in a room with a classic style will be furniture with curved lines, decorated with gold leaf. Nearby you can put a wall-mounted washbasin for the bathroom, mounted on a special cabinet. In a room with an unusual font, all the details should emphasize the status of property owners.

If the high-tech style is chosen, then no extra accessories should be present in the bathroom. This style prefers austere atmosphere. The space in this case is used to the maximum and is not cluttered with unnecessary details. Plumbing, lamps and fittings become the original decor. If you choose the right lighting and equip it, the room can be visually increased.

For lighting in the design of any bathroom should be approached with skill. It must be scattered. Only in this way a round tub will look advantageous.

If desired, the design of an unconventional form can be successfully entered into any style of interior.

A round tub is chosen depending on the area and personal preferences of the buyer. The small construction will suit those who carry out hygienic procedures sitting or reclining. Connoisseurs of a long stay in the font with warm water better to pay attention to the average-sized model (with a diameter of about 170 cm). In this design with comfort can fit one person or more.

If a lonely person buys a bathroom, a small model will suit him, but it is not necessary to make the font low and off the floor. You can opt for designs on the legs.

Designers of modern plumbing have developed a large number of options for bathing tanks for every taste and budget.

Under the built-in models, a podium is constructed or a font is installed directly into the floor. Elevation in this design is both decorative and functional role - it hides water pipes and other communications from the gaze of a person. Floor systems are placed on the legs, which are usually sold in the kit. Such ditches look great in the middle of the room.

Experts have calculated that the optimal area of ​​the room where a round-shaped bathtub will be installed should not be less than 10 square meters. If the room is smaller, you should pay attention to the angular or semicircular systems.

Round bath is better to install near the wall.This method is not the most aesthetic from the point of view of aesthetics, as, for example, in the center of a room, but it is simpler to perform, since all communications are easily hidden inside the wall.

A round-shaped font will look more effective with unusual faucet models. For example, rack-resistant mixer, which is mounted on the floor.
